Hosted by RMIT University School of Art and LASALLE College of the Arts.
Imaging Pasts and Futures: creative digital practices in the arts is a symposium for artists, designers, academics and creatives bringing together key thought-leaders and practitioners. Through a series of invited panel presentations and keynote presentations it examines how new technologies are being used by artists, designers and creative practitioners to interpret and transform knowledge systems and cultural narratives.
This event focuses on projects and research exploring cultural heritage (tangible/intangible) and new technologies through archiving, mapping, preserving and extending cultural memory and intergenerational learning, disappearing spaces and places, digital and/or hybrid museologies. It is also interested in how new tools, technologies and methods are being developed across creative sectors to image pasts and futures. It also seeks to highlight experimental practices in independent art spaces and arts organisations and how these are imaging pasts and futures.
